Zamberlan Exotrail GTX Hiking Shoe - Women's Grey/Sky, 7.0

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I wore the Exotrail GTX Hiking Shoe on a multi-day trip with a loaded daypack, and the PU exoskeleton made a real difference on the rocky descents where a trail runner would have had me second-guessing my footing. The wide last gave my toes room to breathe on the long climbs, and the GORE-TEX kept things dry when we crossed a snow-fed stream on day two.""The approach starts before sunrise, and the trail stretches farther than the map makes it look. When the day demands that kind of commitment, the Zamberlan Exotrail GTX Hiking Shoe steps up with the kind of performance that lives between a trail runner and a full hiking boot. The PU exoskeleton wraps around a breathable mesh upper to deliver real structural support without the added bulk, keeping your stride light and your footing confident even when the pack gets heavy, and the terrain gets unpredictable. The Vibram Bayu Megagrip outsole handles the terrain transitions that define a real day outside, from dry granite to muddy switchbacks to wet creek crossings, with self-cleaning Helix lugs that stay engaged no matter what the trail throws down. A rockered sole keeps each step rolling efficiently forward, easing the strain on long descents when fatigue starts to build. The seamless GORE-TEX ePE Invisible Fit membrane works quietly in the background so wet conditions never slow the pace, and the wide ZWL last gives every toe the space it needs to stay comfortable mile after mile."
